HOWMANY: Badugi is a push-pull game if you play optimally, know when you want others to draw, and know when you want to isolate. Only downside to this strategy is vs a great playing opponent (VERY rare) you turn your hand over quite often with your actions

Back on topic. Say the fish is loose-passive. On your right you lose the ability on 3rd street to steal the antes. You often gain a post flop edge but loose in the average size of the pot. You gain the ability to isolate the weak player, but as we all know the tide turns fast in S8 on 4th street.

Say the same player is on your left, now you lose some of your stealing ability because he defends wider when in the bring in but you regain your ability to steal overall. You lose position on the opponent post flop which isn't necessarily horrible since its a push-pull game but there are times you will wish you had position.
